Monoprice 108231 2-Channel A/B Speaker Selector with Volume Control

The Monoprice 2-Channel A/B Speaker Selector solves a common home audio problem: you have one or two audio sources and want to send sound to speakers in different rooms or zones without buying a multi-zone receiver. It accepts two stereo inputs and routes them to two separate speaker outputs, with independent volume knobs for each zone. If you want music in the living room and kitchen from the same amplifier but at different volumes, this is the simplest way to make that happen. It requires no power source — it's a passive switching and attenuation box that sits between your amp and your speakers.

The build is functional and compact, with a straightforward front panel featuring the A/B source selector and two volume dials. On the back, bare wire terminals accept speaker cable up to 14AWG gauge, which covers the vast majority of home speaker wire. There are no banana plug jacks, so you'll need to strip and insert wire directly. The 100 watts per channel rating is adequate for most home stereo and bookshelf speaker setups, though users with high-output amplifiers or power-hungry floor-standing speakers should verify their system stays within that limit. It's a budget-friendly, purpose-built tool that does one job well without overcomplicating the setup.
